Berlin-based duo Disguised land on Mutual Rytm with a splash of signature driving techno on 'Nightrun'. German-born, Berlin-based pairing Alvaro and Domenik are Disguised, a duo that feels closely connected to their favourite club RSO and its Robus Floor, where most of their musical inspirations happen. They head up their own label, Inherit Records, and also host parties at Berlins new C115 venue on the Berlin highway. Already this year, they have dropped an impressive collaborative EP with their studio partner and close friend Fabio, aka FANK, who features on this EP with his own vocals. Their sound is always defined by driving drums and hypnotic melodies that build up to intense dancefloor peaks, and here they showcase this to its fullest on their Mutual Rytm label debut via five vinyl-only cuts and three digital bonuses built and crafted to make a lasting impact. The powerful 'Where Thoughts End (ft. FANK)' rises up through the ground like an oncoming train, as drums rumble, synths peel off the groove, and moody voices have you looking over your shoulder. 'Nightrun' is glitchier and more textured, with a fractured energy that keeps you on your toes. 'Crusher Wheels' is a deep, back-lit, and trance-inducing sound made for 4am, while 'Ashes and Algorithms' layers up eerie melodic details with bulky drums for a spare but atmospheric trip. 'All You Find (ft. FANK)' is dubby, greyscale techno with a muscular rhythm and unsettling synths, taut and tensile, balancing right on a knife-edge. Three digital bonuses explore different moods - the subtle melodic touches of 'Silent Pulse', the cosmic energy of 'Sceptre Rd', and the rising optimism of 'Twinfall'.

Georgian powerhouse Yanamaste drops long-anticipated new EP on Mutual Rytm. In-demand DJ/producer Yanamaste is a resident at Georgias renowned Khidi Club and a key part of Amsterdams Vault Sessions crew. His unique sound and fresh creative approach result in raw and visceral techno, reflecting his passion for pushing boundaries and showcased perfectly via his Dance EP on Vault last year. Now, he returns with an EP born out of the creative process behind his live set with a debut appearance on SHDWs Mutual Rytm, Evil - a collection of heavily-requested tracks that have already made an impact after featuring in his Boiler Room and Stone Techno Festival livestream. Evil kicks things off with perfectly rubbery, funky drum patterns and an urgent sense of movement that sweeps you off your feet. Lahante is more percussive, with busy snares riding the rolling, forceful drums and stark synths arresting your attention. Dragonfly is perfectly reduced via minimal drums intertwined with thunderous effects and ghoulish energy, while Modulation Detected has a more cosmic feel as it journeys into the future with whispered spoken words and synths searching across the face of the groove. Last but not least is the irresistible broken beat goodness of Walking On Mars, with its swinging kicks and vast bassline spraying about the mix beneath hypnotic melodic patterns. Two superb bonus cuts, Ohohoi and Pwiu, are also provided for digital buyers, bringing further gems loaded with moody depths and compelling rhythms.

Iconic Icelandic techno mainstay Exos returns to Mutual Rytm with his fifth LP, Sweet Dreams. The 12-track record is the first album on SHDWs influential label and explores the past, present, and future of techno. Planet X label head and 20-year scene veteran Exos, hailing from Iceland, draws on his native countrys influences in his work, which explores the interplay between light and dark, warmth and cold. His high-octane sounds over the last 20 years have appeared on vital imprints like Tresor, X/OZ, and, of course, Mutual Rytm, with his releases for the label having been extremely well received, garnering support from the scenes key DJs. Whether dubby or hard, his techno is always authentic and channels the purity of the 90s style. This new album follows Exoss inaugural X- Release, the Infrared 10, the Icebreaker 12 from last year, and his track on the latest Federation of Rytm IV compilation. Its a real journey through all facets of his sound, including a trip back to his dub techno roots, ambient explorations, and emotional vocal pieces with lifelong memories fused into sounds that reflect the artists decades spent in Iceland. Sweet Dreams opens with an atmospheric intro in the form of a 28-year-old collaboration with his father. This full- bodied analogue ambient piece is rich with the mysterious tones of the Nord Modular and was recorded during their shared studio days at D17 in Reykjavík. The title track is a hypnotic, linear groove with icy synth modulations and glistening melodies. Hinn Víðförli then brings dub warmth while State of Mind recalls the spirit of the legendary Reykjavík club Thomsen, a cornerstone of Icelands late 90s underground scene. Glaður og Reifur and Fögur er hlíðinpay homage to the echoes of ancient Viking heritage, North of January conveys the cold of Exoss homeland, and Hvarvetna brings textured percussion and darker undertones before 101 After Dark slows to a bass-heavy broken beat exploration of texture and post-dubstep pressure. After the heady and atmospheric sound of The Dolphin Oracle, another key collaboration comes with Freefall, an emotional breakbeat piece featuring vocalist Amelia Rodriguez, who also lends her voice to Shock, a magnificent track that channels Exoss modern techno energy. The album closes with a haunting paradox, Paradise Lost, questioning whether our sweet dreams are truly moments of bliss or simply reflections of what weve already left behind. The three bonus digital cuts offer sleek minimalism, punchy deep techno, and suspenseful ambient.
